Setting Up the Pins

Man in a silk tie heads downtown

Setting up the pins for knocking em down

People in cars all rushing around

Setting up the pins

Let's get rich find a way around

Setting up the pins for knocking em down

We'll get gadget with a whirring sound

For setting up the pins

Everyone everywhere some way some how

Are setting up the pins for knocking em down

You can find joy in the fertile ground

Setting up the pins and knocking em down

You can try to fight it till you're anger drowned

Setting up the pins

Everyone everywhere some way some how

Are setting up the pins for knocking em down

It can feel simple but it's really profound

Setting up the pins

Rent a tent, build a stage, throw a party, get a gown

Buy a ticket, rent a car, pack a bag and leave town,

Cook a dinner, clean the kitchen hit the light

Brush your teeth, read a book, say a prayer good-night

Everyone everywhere some way some how

Are setting up the pins for knocking em down

It can feel simple but it's really profound...

My grandmother had a working song

Hummed it low all day long

Sing for the beauty that's to be found

In setting up the pins for knocking em down
